Pros

Great job security & bonus potential. Great benefits (401k & vacation/PTO). Coworkers are mostly friendly and helpful. Lots of Training opportunities and plenty of growth potential, especially if you’re willing to relocate.

Cons

Poor work-life balance for store managers and stores are so understaffed, the morale is low. Sales reps aren’t held accountable meanwhile managers are doing all the grunt work with little to no regard.

Pros

A positive work environment. The best co-workers I have had so far in my career worked with me at Sherwin. I also worked under an amazing management team. There is a lot of room for career growth. I worked for Sherwin for about 3.5 years. I started as a contracted lab technician, then I was hired full time as an R&D Associate Chemist. I quickly worked my way up to R&D Chemist within a year of being hired full time. The department I worked in was very fast paced, however, I know there are many other groups that move at a much slower pace with longer timelines. This would make it much easier to manage the workload.

Cons

Working with marketing was challenging at times. We would regularly receive big requests a day before they needed something. This would pose a challenge when you had other priorities to attend to. The pay was average. I do think it could have been slightly higher for all of the job responsibilities given to the chemists in my group specifically. The workload was overwhelming at times.
